| 1. * | He frowned and turned (his) back, |
| 2. * | Because there came to him the blind man. |
| 3. * | And what would make you know that he would purify himself, |
| 4. * | Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? |
| 5. * | As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), |
| 6. * | To him do you address yourself. |
| 7. * | And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself |
| 8. * | And as to him who comes to you striving hard, |
| 9. * | And he fears, |
| 10. * | From him will you divert yourself. |
| 11. * | Nay! surely it is an admonishment. |
| 12. * | So let him who pleases mind it. |
| 13. * | In honored books, |
| 14. * | Exalted, purified, |
| 15. * | In the hands of scribes |
| 16. * | Noble, virtuous. |
| 17. * | Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! |
| 18. * | Of what thing did He create him? |
| 19. * | Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, |
| 20. * | Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) |
| 21. * | Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, |
| 22. * | Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. |
| 23. * | Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. |
| 24. * | Then let man look to his food, |
| 25. * | That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, |
| 26. * | Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, |
| 27. * | Then We cause to grow therein the grain, |
| 28. * | And grapes and clover, |
| 29. * | And the olive and the palm, |
| 30. * | And thick gardens, |
| 31. * | And fruits and herbage |
| 32. * | A provision for you and for your cattle. |
| 33. * | But when the deafening cry comes, |
| 34. * | The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, |
| 35. * | And his mother and his father, |
| 36. * | And his spouse and his son-- |
| 37. * | Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. |
| 38. * | (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, |
| 39. * | Laughing, joyous. |
| 40. * | And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, |
| 41. * | Darkness shall cover them. |
| 42. * | These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked. |
